"Of course, I'd like to produce and direct a blockbuster, but you gotta build up to that. So now I'm learning from a bunch of little movies. And it's more fun with smaller pictures. It's more creative."
"I love really crappy carnivals, where you think the ride is going to break. There's something so seedy about them."
"In my deepest parts of sadness, I'm always making a joke or being sarcastic."
"It's hard not to want to strangle people when you work with them for four years."
"So when my film career took off, I always felt like I was trying to play catch-up because I hadn't studied acting before. I didn't know how to manage money or my career. When I look back, I think I was a little bit shell-shocked."
